South Western Style Spicy Cookie

Here is a cookie recipe that will go with any Mexican food. I found this recipe online and had to give it a try,  because I love spicy foods.   All of her reviews were 5 stars!  I was so amazed at how good the cookies turned out.  My husband does not appreciate hot foods like I do,  but even he commented about how good they were. Lets get started.  

Step 1 Ingredients

2 1/2 C flour
1 tsp baking soda 
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp ground cayenne
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2 lb butter, at room temperature
3/4 C packed brown sugar
1/4 C granulated sugar
1 pkg. (3.4 oz) Jello™ cheesecake flavored instant pudding
2 ( large) eggs room temperature 
1 tsp lime extract (I used the juice from a lime because I did not have key lime or extract)
1 large jalapeno, seeded, finely chopped (about 1/4 C)
cayenne to sprinkle on top (optional)

For the best results I always use cage free eggs and real butter.  I used salted butter in my recipe only because I did not have unsalted.
